Abstract
Excavations on agricultural land at Poulton have revealed a late prehistoric lowland settlement of unparalleled complexity for the region, characterised by intercutting roundhouse ditches which span the eighth to first centuries BC. A diverse finds assemblage was preserved by unusually favourable geological conditions and revealed evidence for a range of activities, long-distance connections, a mixed farming economy and ritual practices. The overall character is indicative of a settlement similar to examples east of the Pennines. The topographical and geological setting further provides a template to identify similar examples, potentially illuminating Iron Age studies in north-west England and beyond.
